St Cuthbert's Way follows the story of a 7th century saint who travelled through Scotland and northern England, spreading the Gospel and performing healing miracles. Beginning at Melrose, where the saint started his ministry, and ending at Holy Island, where he ended his days, the trail passes through scenery of great variety and beauty.
The walk takes in heather-clad hills, tranquil riverbanks and old Roman roads, visiting attractive villages and border towns along the way. Particular sites of interest include the ruin of Dryburgh Abbey, Cessford Castle, St Cuthbert's Cave and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, complete with its ruined abbey and spectacular castle.
Exploring the attractive borders towns of Melrose, Bowden and Jedburgh.
Admiring far-reaching views over the border country from the slopes of the Eildon Hills.
Spending the night on the tranquil Holy Island, with its 16th century Lindisfarne Castle and Priory, home to the Lindisfarne Gospels.

“The walk included an interesting variety of landscapes. It was well laid out and the distances walked each day were good.”Dr Matthews, UK
“Logistics, administration and quality of accommodation are outstanding.”Mr Bancroft, UK
“We really did enjoy this walk. The weather was reasonably kind to us, good walking conditions, great scenery and Contours did a great job as usual with the organisation and standard of accommodation. Well done as usual and thanks!!”Mr Pattison, UK
“Great holiday. Lovely country side, different each day.”Ms Murphy, Ireland
“Though relatively short this was a superb walk through quiet countryside, a mix of hill walking as well as riverside paths, woodland walks and tracks crossing farmland. Highly recommended. It helped that the weather was fine, sunny and (especially on the last two days) hot. This was our 7th walk with Contours.”Mr Gill, UK
“Excellent holiday - many thanks for making all the arrangements, including fixing the weather!”Dr Rampton, UK
“Brilliant shorter walk a bit of everything - hills, rivers, moors, sea, bridges, priories, villages - perfect and perfect organisation by Contours.”Mr Brown, UK
“We had an incredible time. The places we stayed were great. People were helpful and very welcoming. Our luggage pick-up and drop off went smoothly. You make it so easy for us and we so appreciate the effort. And we plan to take another group in a few years! Again, you make it easy for us and we have not had any serious issues so we would be happy to continue using your services.”Mrs Raynor, USA
“St. Cuthbert's Way was, though incredibly challenging, a magnificent path to follow, especially the last day, walking across the sand and mud to Holy Isle. MOST of the accommodations were good, and we were absolutely DELIGHTED by the cab drivers. I never would have thought that cab drivers would be a highlight of the experience, but they were. The luggage transfers were flawless, which was so helpful. The Allerton House and the Lindisfarne on Holy Isle were superb lodgings. Like any such experience, there were ups and downs, but overall it was a great experience.”Ms Kleeman, USA
